The Upper Chapman Valley railway line was a 61-kilometre (38 mi) long state government-owned and WAGR-operated railway line in the Mid West region of Western Australia, connecting Wokarina, a siding on the Northampton railway line at Glenfield, to Yuna.^[1]

The railway line, also referred to as the Wokarina to Yuna railway line or Geraldton to Yuna railway line, opened in its first section to Naraling in 1910 and its full extension to Yuna two years later. An extension to Dartmoor, which would have more than doubled the line's length, was authorised in 1933 but never constructed. In 1960, the railway line, alongside twelve others in the state, was officially closed.
